Key Ratio Tab

Key Ratio analysis is just one approach to evaluating stocks, and it should be complemented with other forms of analysis, such as technical analysis and market sentiment, for a well-rounded investment decision.


Key ratio indicators provide valuable information about a company’s financial health, profitability, growth prospects, operational efficiency, and overall value enabling traders to make more informed decisions:

Valuation:  Helps determine whether a stock is priced attractively in relation to its earnings, sales, or book value.

Profitability: Signifies a company’s ability to generate returns for its shareholders.

Financial Strength: Assesses the ability to meet financial obligations and weather economic downturns.

Growth:  Analyzes potential for expansion and increased earnings over time.

Efficiency: Measures how effectively a company utilizes its resources to generate output.

Cash Flow: Provides insights into the company’s ability to generate and manage cash.


Fundamental Tab

Fundamental Analysis involves a comprehensive examination of a stock’s financial health and its underlying value, as well as other relevant financial and non-financial metrics, to form an overall view of a company’s financial health and value.

This information is displayed in charts and graphs making it more useful in the analysis process.

It’s important to note that fundamental analysis is just one approach to evaluating stocks, and it should be complemented with other forms of analysis, such as technical analysis and market sentiment, for a well-rounded investment decision.

Where are the Greeks?

You may come across instances on the Options Chain where Delta, Gamma, Theta & Vega fields are blank.

This occurs when the Extrinsic Value of the Option Strike Price is Negative.   Negative numbers cannot be used to calculate the sensitivity of an option’s price underlying stock price changes, changes in volatility and passage of time.

Some platforms may place a ‘0’ (zero) vs. keeping the field blank.  This is not entirely accurate, as ‘0’ is a valid number
